Oh so sorry to be like that but gee - my first was an emergency c/s
at 27 weeks and the second was 24 hours of abuse by the most horrible ob
on the face of the earth while in labour and then after the 24
hour of emotional torture the physical assult of a brutal c/s
which left me stapled up crooked and bruised for 10 weeks.
I guess sleeping seemed a better option to me.
For me the reality of empowering, exciting, even painful yet
wonderful birth is just as much a fairy tale.

So glad I'm human (well, sort of human, I
believe!)! Labour and birth is intense, painful, exciting, challenging,
wonderful, excruciating, and lots more, including orgasmic. Nothing else
is like it, in the world and I wouldn't have missed a second of it for
quids! What a way to present your Darlings to the world and make you
realise what a huge thing it is to bring a person to the
planet.

Oh I don't know, I wouldn't have missed my last birth for the world,
it was a wonderful exciting experience - could have done without the last
few weeks of pregnancy though.
Waking up to find a baby, I must admit sounds a bit c-sectionish to
me - wake up - here's bub - God I wonder if they have given me
the right one - although I suppose grizzly bears don't have this concern
as they are not sharing their maternity ward with any other bears
:-)
